on that statement irrespective. another tax happy democrat and his thoughts. congressma blumenhour of oregon wrote a bill how government can tax cars bythe mile. this idea, and i don't want to say it's stupid, but it is, and it's not even original. a mileage tax program was proposed twice last year. that's how bad that one is. the last spot on the list goes to espn commentator rob parker, the former detroit news coal imu.s. yesterday questioned the blackness of washington red skins robert griffin iii claiming he was not authentic. >> i keep hearing things, we all know he has a white fiance, talk about he's a republican. hs not really, okay. he's black, does the thing, but he's not really down with the cause. he's not one of us. he's kind of black. he's in the -- he's not really, like, the guy you want to hang out because he's off to something else. lou: espn suspended parke indefinitely, and to be honest with you, i think we would miss him, don't you? ambassador rice queioning contributics about false statements on benghazi, the a-team takes it up and more. doug shone, angela, join us next. lou: o

months we have had mass shootings in oregon, wisconsin, and colorado. when the public sees these as isolated incidents they're lesupset than when they occur one after the other, and the public the not accept, the public will not accept as a new normal one of these incidents every month, these mass shootings. second, of course, it involved children. and it's so poignant to see those pictures and i read the story in the newspaper where the families waited in the firehouse and when they found that a young child had survived, they called the parents out, and there were other parents waiting. what agony, what horror. so i think we can get something done. i think we have to do things that protect the second amendment rights of legitimate gun owners, but three things that we should focus on. we don't know the details yet, so you can't say any that any of them would have stopped this incident, but you can say they are parts of the pattern. one is to ban assault weapons, to try and reinstatement the assault weapons ban. the seconding is to limit the size of clips to maybe no more th

a number of storms lined up across northern california and southern oregon. places like san francisco and medford, oregon. some areas, another seven or eight inches of rain over next four to five days. that means flooding concerns. this is much colder storm than we saw a couple weeks ago. so big-time snowfall accumulations up to six feet of snow across some of the higher elevations. the good news is, travelwise, the next couple of days are looking good. the next big storm that we're potentially looking at is christmas across parts of the plains. megyn: rick, thank you. merry christmas to you. >> same to you. megyn: so we heard mike tobin say o'hare was okay but the states around there have been dealing with changing conditions. we've seen lots and lots of flight cancellations past couple days. we'll check in with courtney scott, senior editor of travelocity. courtney, thanks for being here with us. what is the situation now? we heard more than a thousand flights canceled over the past couple days. >> that's right. there have been significance selllations and delays throughout the enti

, the oregon shopping mall, and now we saw them in an elementary school. they're capable of firing if you have a magazine of 30, 30 bullets in a few seconds or even 100 in less than a minute. and, you know, this, make no bones about this, larry. the guy that went up to that school, adam lanza, he had enough bullets, enough magazines to eliminate the entire school. >> why do we need that? this is a question i have. i mean, i would get rid of the semiautomatic or narrow it down to extremely, extremely narrow stuff. but, again, why do we need these huge magazines? why do we need 100 bullets that sort of thing? why do hunters need that? >> why would a hunter need to have 100 magazine? what do they want to do? take a deer and destroy it completely? is that the sport? is that the fun? i thought hunting was about having one shot, if you're hunting for animals and taking that shot and experiencing your skill as a huntsman. there's no skill in blazing a deer with 100 bullets. there is no sensible reason why you need to have these high-capacity magazines other than for criminals who want to obliterate p

headlines. new details about the man who opened fire inside a crowded mall in oregon. jacob roberts' roommate said he had a weird look on his face when he left the house that day. roberts shot and killed two people inside the mall before turning the gun on himself. the mall set to reopen a little bit later this morning. >>> could jenny rivera have avoided death? it turns out she made a last minute decision to take that deadly plane ride. she was offered a room for the night, but took off to her next destination instead. >> gretchen: that's sad. today we wrap up our paws for a cause series. all week we've been telling you how you can help dogs in need in time for christmas. here with us today is. >> brian: deborah allrick, from a mixed breed rescue, and michaela. who are your special friends? >> this is pixie right here and this is twiggy. >> brian: these puppies? >> twinkie. >> gretchen: she could be twiggy, yeah. >> is a yorkie. she's blind. and this is pixie. we really don't know what she is. >> steve: this is the time of season when i know you guys try very hard to make sure that

's one of the victims of the mall shooting in oregon, the only one to survive. and the first time christina is talking about the terrifying moment she came face-to-face with that gunman. >> saw him for an instance, only to see that he was wearing black, a mask and carrying a gun. i didn't realize it was a real gun. i thought maybe it was a prank. we have to cherish every moment because we never know when it could be the last. >> that's beautiful wisdom. and doctors removed fragments from her lung and liver and she's happy to be obviously to celebrate christmas. listen up twinkie fans, you can breathe a sigh of relief. the iconic cake is likely returning to store shelves, it's under new ownership, hoe test expects to sell off the snack cake and bread to several buyers and they closed up shop and laid off 18,000 workers as failing to reach a deal with the striking baker's union. >> a bakers dozen. >> dave: i think they should bring you an entire plate of hostess twinkies. >> clayton: i wouldn't have to eat for the entire 2013. >> you could ration them. >> clayton: i know that rick i

and president of the progressive policy institute. we have bob packwood from oregon, the former chairman of the senate finance committee. we hope to get your thoughts. the other folks here have been part of the conversation. my only message to the new arrivals, please jump in whenever you see fit. we have about an hour to an hour and a half. it is amazing at how time flies by. so please jump in. i will direct the conversation as best i can. we're talking now about the other very small issue in this debate, and that is tax policy and how best to put the nation on a sustainable fiscal path and incorporate changes in tax policy to get there. the question of revenue, how much, where to get it, the options on the table, and we like all your thoughts, we need some ideas. both sides need this to bridge this gap because right now we appear to be at a stalemate. i will turn it over to john podesta to get your thoughts. knowing that john has to leave, and the center for american progress has come up with ideas, and, john, maybe you would like to weigh in on some of those and your thoughts on this

private capital. for example, the portland housing authority in portland, oregon, uses project-based vouchers to provide housing to formerly [inaudible] on flexibility, it allows us to provide this to veterans using housing vouchers as well. the department is pleased that some of our most important stakeholders from public housing authorities and low-income housing were able to negotiate their differences and in order to advance broader section eight reform. as the community craft the legislation, we hope you will consider the stakeholder approach. mr. chairman, there is an irrefutable need for rental assistance across this nation. at the same time, there is long-standing consensus on a set of reforms that will streamline and simplify the administration of the housing choice voucher and the public housing program. improving not only the oversight of the programs as well, we look forward to working with the committee and industry partners to develop property-based oversight structure. we also recognize that any expansion of the program must be coupled with measures to protect te

? let's go to dawn in eugene, oregon. caller code good morning. listen, the contribution thing is a way to be of service, as far as i'm concerned. host: by contribution you mean charitable contribution? caller: yes. it is something that i would want to keep. i mean, not keep, but i would be willing to contribute to that concern about taxes. my main concern is the mortgage deduction. how severe -- many of us have every dollar that we account for on the federal. if we did not have that, we would be up to 25%. this would be quite a severe blow if this were done in a cut and dried fashion. maybe they can do a tiered thing? that is the thing about taxes, a lot of people purchase property taxes, i am really for a federal sales tax. maybe some of us could keep the deductions that we are accustomed to or that we need, but maybe on a local level or federal level, i do not know, people have a fair share coming in. the burden is on the property owner. it is kind of crazy, you know? cities are projecting that in a couple of years they will be worse off now. whenever types of tax forms that we have,

. five people were left dead. a shooting was -- has happened in oregon. the media keeps hyping up the fiscal cliff and they actually had a report on cnn where they were showing this woman blathering about how she's going to lose her unemployment and everything and i feel like there seems to be a tie-in between the economy, what's going on and this constant rampage. i'm wondering what at point is our government going to speak about it. i'm not one to condone removing all guns. we need to have a conversation. >> stephanie: also, i think everybody's going a little crazy around the holidays. i think there are a lot of factors right now. everybody i know is -- we're having mutual bitch session all day on the phone. 17 minutes after the hour. kids, i don't know what we would do without carbonite here at the "the stephanie miller show." t-bone has all of our contacts, guest names and numbers in his computer. you have everything. >> everything. >> stephanie: only reason are you have job security. >> thank you. >> stephanie:

've seen examples time and time again, pearl river, tennessee, the new life church in oregon, the lady in texas, where people have stopped the killer either in mid may hem by having a gun of their own, either a gun that was in a parked car or a gun that was in their person. i'm not saying that's the solution for everything but declaring a gun-free zone doesn't mean that you have a gun-free violence. that gray principle -- brave principal who tried to stop him, i admired her courage but it wasn't going to stop matters. i'm not saying she could have stopped him but making sure everyone in that school was unarmed, obviously that didn't help here. host: so we should arm school officials? guest: well, the police chief of st. louis has said that we should put that on the table. i'm not saying we should arm police officials but let's at least say that just like pilots. you know, pilots can be armed. we had a long battle about that. should pilots be able to carry whens on a plane that's pressurized where you could do all kinds of damage to the plane's fuselage? and we agree that pilots should

the country in oregon and other states. we won some major initiatives. we consent traded where our members have been in our communities. >> you see how important that is. it's essential in the state legislate temperaturesure legislatures. congress may be grid locked but they will ram through this kind of legislation. >> that's why we have to prepare for 2013. the state legislatures are going to be where the battles will be for our members next year, and we've gotten to be prepared and ready to go >> bill: already 2013? >> yeah >> bill: we have to gear up for that. no rest? >> we started gearing up for 2013 right after november 6th. >> bill: no rest for the weary. lee saunderstion president of afscme state after state after state for working families. if you have a question or a comment about your state or where this is all heading and how we head off these right to work laws, 866-55-press, the full court press on wednesday. we will be right back. >> chatting with you live at current.com/billpress, this is "the bill press show" live on your radio and curren

continue beyond 11:50 a.m. the chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon, mr. blumenauer, for five minutes. mr. blumenauer: thank you, mr. speaker. the reality behind the fiscal cliff is that if we really get down to work, talking with one another, digging into the details, it really is not that hard. the nuclear arsenal is a prime example and something that doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves and is an illustration of why the fiscal sequestration level over the next 10 years for the department of defense, which would bring it down to 2007 spending levels adjusted for inflation, is really not that draconian. during the cold war, the united states spent on average $35 billion a year on its nuclear weapons complex. today, it spends an estimated $55 billion. the nuclear weapons budget is spread across the department of defense, department of energy, the department of homeland security, and the government doesn't publicly disclose how much it is, but the last year that the elements were aggregated together, it spent at least $52.4 billion, that's in 2008, according to the carnegie end

the supermarket in tucson, arizona, to a movie theater in aurora, colorado, a shopping mall in oregon, an elementary school in newtown, connecticut, to the streets of brooklyn, new york, why have we been so reluctant in protecting them? why have we let them -- left them unprotected, vulnerable to gun violence, death, and the terror that such actions inflict. who will speak for the people whose lives were cut short, struck down, maimed and traumatized for life? when will we realize that these incidents are not inevitable that we have the ability to prevent gun violence and an obligation to do everything in our power to make gun violence a thing of the past. the answer to these questions will define this generation of members of congress, our answers will determine the future of our civil society. americans have the right to demand answers from this congress. we have the authority to keep the guns away from the streets of our cities and towns. in the 11th congressional district which i represent in new york city, the new york city police department reported 274 victims from 226 incident

, but it is merely a symptom. look at hawaii, california, oregon, vermont -- they were passing these kinds of laws in the 1960's and the early-1970's. this is a home grown problem, not a united nations problem, and is a multi-trillion dollar problem that could cause a shift in the economy. host: beyond land use restrictions, what surprised you in researching this book >> guest: it was surprising to find a working class families in the 1960 -- in the 1890's had much higher ownership restrictions -- home ownership levels than middle-class families who did not want to own homes because they feared a working-class family would move in next door to them. by treating zoning and the war on sprawl, they were able to drive prices up. it made me suspicious when people talk about zoning nowadays. it is not a way to protect property values so much as it is to protect to discriminate against lower income people and i am not enthused about that. host: the book is entitled "american nightmare -- how government undermines the dream of homeownership. the offer, randal o'toole of the cato institute. -- horizon --

again from oregon, a movie theater of in colorado, countless streetcorners and places like chicago and philadelphia. any of these neighborhoods could be our own. we have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this from happening. regardless of politics. this weekend, michele and i are doing what i know every parent is doing, holding our children as close as we can and reminding them how much we love them. to families in connecticut, they cannot do that today. they need all of us right now. while nothing can take the place of a lost child or loved one, all of us can extend a hand to those in need to remind them that we are there for them, that we are praying for them. the love they felt for those they lost endorsed not only in their memories but their communities and in their country. thank you, and god bless you. >> john boehner sent his prayers and condolences. he said there would be no weekly address so president obama could speak for everyone in this time of morning. tomorrow, stan colender and josh gordon have the latest news on the fiscal cl
